WIN: What I Need

WIN (What I Need) connects users to 12 categories of free resources. Users can search for anything from food pantries and homeless shelters, to free health services, educational resources, and more. WIN is free, easy to use, and empowers homeless, abused, and resource-insecure youth, families, and adults to find services that will help them build an independent life. More than a directory – WIN users can receive alerts about job fairs and other community events, offer feedback, and even search for homeless shelter beds available in real time. Users can also connect to live assistance hotlines through the “I Need Help Now” page.

This is a great resource for people in LA to find the free services and help that they need. Really easy to use. Really important stuff for pretty much everyone.

Love to see it

Leaving a review to boost this app basically. I would encourage the city to continue to spread the word about it in any ways that they can, as it seems to be a really great resource.

Very helpful resource
